I stand on a hill and I see red
I see my lies across the horizon
I see a new day and yet not a new life
I see my words of last night hang in the air
I feel the cold of last night
I feel the need of last night

I love your love
The sun rises a little more
Why can’t I have it’s gentleness
Why can’t I have it’s vision
Why can’t I have it’s fury
Why can’t I have it’s belonging

I stand at a valley
I remember from a distance
Your smile
Your warmth
Your love
I remember my words
I remember my lies

The kisses frame my shame
I wan’t to hide
From the sun
From my soul
From my name
From my love
From me

I stand here with nothing
You sleep there with everything
I lied to you
I misled you
I slept with you
I used you
I disgraced you by making you a fool
Why

I will face the sun
It will scorch me free
I will face my future
It will blind my past
I will face my lies
Looking backwards
But can I face you

Maybe you will understand me before I leave
A dog with no tail
A cur with no honour
A dog to take any bone

The sun rises and I look to it’s heart
I hope I can take some of it’s fire
Before I leave
Before I face you

I love you
And that love means I must leave you

The pain is clear; it makes me want to know more about the reasons.

Everone goes where the unknown looks like something you want.

A summer day where everything is what you dreamed of.

A joy and you know you should not enjoy.

I'll get into trouble for posting a forth poem, but I will.

I'll get into trouble for posting a forth poem, but I will and I am still trying to find the poem that makes it worth writing.
